Hi Petruchi;
I'm afraid you're not going to removed those stains, short of grinding them out, with a diamond disk. (And, I don't know if your plaster is thick enough to make that possible.)
If you look at the more closely, you can see that the shape is the shape of the water flow from the floor inlet:

The unstained portions correspond to the 4 support bars that hold the center portion of the inlet.
And, in this edited view of the other picture,

you can see that the plaster service is rough, and that the stain is in the depressions in the roughness.
What it looks like to me is you have (or have had) iron in the pool water, and have deeply stained the pool where the return water impinged directly on the plaster. You might be able to lighten it using "Iron Out", but you'd probably need a larger quantity than you can buy from the grocery store. They will sell direct in 25 - 50# quantities, so you could try a small bottle on a small area, and then buy a larger quantity if it worked.
Also, if the plaster is thick enough, you *could* remove the stains with straight acid, but you'd end up with a very rough and pitted surface even if you didn't burn though the plaster altogether.
